Govardhana Puja – Thursday, October 27, 2011
Also known as a “Sweet Hill Festival”, Govardhana Puja is one of our biggest festivals of the year.

Govardhan Puja celebrations at the Hare Krishna temple feature a grand “Govardhana Hill” made entirely of sweets in the middle of the temple room! Please join us for festivities from 6:00pm onwards to celebrate this festival! You won’t want to miss it!
